Bike North Big Ride Day
Sunday 15 August 2010
Start looking ahead to the next big BN event - the Big Ride Day and AGM BBQ. With lots of rides and a BBQ, this event celebrates the end of Winter and looks forward to Spring fairs and Summer events.There are rides to cater for all BN members so choose yours and come along.
Most rides will start from the same location at the Concord West Picnic Area Bicentennial Park. Use the entrance to Bicentennial Park off Victoria Avenue, Concord West with lots of parking in the park and nearby streets. This is also conveniently accessible by train from Concord West station via the same entrance.
Joan’s ride starts from a different location and returns after the event.
Rides start at different times but all aim to finish between 11:00-11:30am at the Hill Pavilion in Bicentennial Park for a BBQ lunch. And you don’t need to bring anything! Just turn up after the rides and socialise.
The Bike North Annual General Meeting will take place at approx 12 noon at this venue, so you also have the opportunity to provide input on how Bike North is run. All members are welcome to attend the BBQ and AGM (even if not able to participate in one of the rides).
Bring the whole family – after the AGM, if there is interest, we can look at putting on a kids ride in Bicentennial Park.
